Go into Start - Run - SERVICES.MSC - OK and look in the services list and see if any Dell-related entries are on Automatic. If they are, change them to Manual and then restart.

Great, that got it. Thanks so much for your help, Flavallee. (You too Cybertech!)It is so much appreciated. She will be glad to get her pc back and let me take the old standby away! I am sure I will hear from you again as I continue to try and help the school out here.

I'm glad the services list edit worked.

And you're welcome.
